A person calling himself Charles Gregoire de Rothschild has strangely appeared in the business environment. An investigation conducted on him confirms he is an impostor, a charlatan and a swindler; a small Bernard Madoff in the making.

He was born in Tunisia in 1944. He tries to impress and calls himself "de Rothschild", even added himself in an odd way to Wikipedia in the Rothschild page, the only entry without a link, although It is confirmed, he is neither from the famous Rothschild Banking family, nor has any connections with its members. It is also confirmed he is neither a banker nor a financier and he has no money at all even if he claims to control and have access to US $billions. Yet, does not hesitate to introduce himself socially as a high living person in the world of money, and hands out visits cards with his name and company logo in golden letters.

No one knows his full story. He has no family and mysteriously appeared from nowhere and started an image building campaign. Suddenly, his name appears as Director, Advisor, Administrator and Chairman of several companies: Conundrum Capital LLC, Carlton Energy Group, Cobera Capital, DHP Partners, JLFTranstrade, Vena Resources, Brewer Investment Group, eDoorways, Biomagnetics Diagnostics, Franklin Mining and the list goes on; surely innocent victims who believed his lies as the "most prestigious banker and financier" who will open the world of finance for them.

He is trying to build an international business network with the backing of a small group of people who is also working hard to promote him hoping to benefit from this scam stratagem by attracting unwary companies and investors trusting in the security offered by "de Rothschild".

The profile of GDR Privée Inc., a NY investment Bank and international investment boutique covers every industry and financial service in almost every country in the globe. But Delaware state records show it is a very small company not registered with any financial authority in the world and owes US $349.76 in taxes; the status of the company is VOID.

Almost everyone who dealt with him refers to him as a con-man and regretted it afterwards, at considerable loss of prestige and credibility, and high financial cost in most cases. Many paid him substantial amounts of money in advance and covered his expenses for services he promised but never delivered.

The shameless way he presents himself in business and society as “de Rothschild” makes people believe his false words and hesitate to conduct a proper due diligence on him.

Anyone who is dealing with him now or who intends to deal with him is advised to stop immediately. Our sources tell us that, sooner or later, he will be indicted for fraud.

We are absolutely confident of the accuracy of our investigation and that anyone who wishes to do his own research would reach the same conclusion.

Charles Grégoire de Rothschild – GDR PRIVEE, INC.

Many public companies have appointed Charles Gregoire de Rothschild as a director, financier, consultant or adviser without knowing anything about him and who he really is.

A public company and its board and shareholder must be aware of any information that can affect the performance of their company and the value of their shares. The board members are liable under the law to do their due diligence correctly. If not, they will be accused of negligence by the shareholders. These companies must know the following facts:

Below, you will see very important information regarding who this person really is:

1)
Charles Grégoire de Rothschild is NOT from the Rothschild Banking family. He was born February 12, 1944 in Tunisia. This is why he speaks French. This also helped him to claim he is from the French Rothschild Family.

Below you see the replies from The Rothschild Archives, London, England and confirmed by The Rothschild Family museum, Frankfurt, Germany:

Thank you for your enquiry to The Rothschild Archive concerning your family ancestry.

The Rothschild Archive is responsible for maintaining the family tree of the male lines of the Rothschild banking family descended from Mayer Amschel Rothschild (1744-1812) of Frankfurt, and we also keep records of the female lines.

Nobody by the name of Charles Grégoire de Rothschild appears in these records. Rothschild was by no means a unique name and there were other families called 'Rothschild' originating in Frankfurt, and other unrelated families are also called Rothschild, or have adopted the name (or versions of it) over the years.

We would therefore conclude that these people are not related to the Rothschild banking family, although they may share the same surname.

The most recent genealogy of the Rothschild banking family is "Le Sang des Rothschild" by Joseph Valynseele and Henri Mars (Paris: ICC Editions, 2004. 549pp.) and there is also a family tree reproduced in "The World's Banker: the history of the house of Rothschild" by Niall Ferguson (London: Weidenfeld and Nicolson, 1998. 1309pp.)

Charles Grégoire de Rothschild is not a Banker or a Financier. His name does not appear and never appeared in any Bank or Finance company or directory. He claims to control Billions!? How about writing directly to his Bank asking for a reference? These are his Bank details:

His name appears in countless press releases but news organizations distribute what's sent to them without checking so please don't forget to read the disclaimer written in small letter as to the authenticity of the information contained in the press releases.

He has a small support team privy to the inner dealings and who is also benefiting from promoting him to attract companies and investors, so the bigger the scam the more money they make, simple mathematics.

Canaris AKA Petermorris AKA Nestor is an Internet scam artist who attempts to target wealthy individuals for on-line extortion campaigns. His actions are illegal. In this particular case, we personally spoke with three members of the Rothschild family as well as the head of the official Rothschild archives in Frankfurt, all of whom confirmed Mr. Charles Gregoire de Rothschild's identity as a member of the family. Additionally, Canaris AKA Petermorris AKA Nestor has posted private banking information (including full account numbers) for Mr. de Rothschild on various Internet posting boards. This is a crime, and the appropriate authorities are now looking into this. Finally, Canaris AKA Petermorris AKA Nestor suggests that this individual, Mr. de Rothschild, "just recently came onto the scene" on many of his posts across the Internet. Anyone who does even five minutes of research can see that this particular de Rothschild has been an officer, director, and banker for over 25 years.

This poster, Canaris AKA Petermorris AKA Nestor, is simply trying to get a payoff to stop his posts. He is an extortionist. He is being tracked by the authorities now. Trust me, I am a previous direct victim of his activities, and I refuse to allow him to continue attacking other innocent individuals with his extortion.

Personal information not a part of public record will not be allowed on this board. The bank account numbers have therefore been deleted. Canaris was the original poster on this thread. Apparently, he suffers from Multiple Posting Personality Disorder. He and petermorris share the same IP and have been merged into one user.

We run everything above board here. There is no way any bribery or extortion could take place. We have reasonable policies in place and any of the 3 admins can edit posts at their discretion as necessary. I have worked with the authorities and will continue to do so. Any documents related to this alleged distortion should be immediately forwarded to my e-mail in my signature.

I see that this de Rothschild character is involved in forex trading with Conumdrum. And, his bio is alarmingly bereft of any verifiable facts:

Exactly what crime would that be? Only a statute number will do. How do you even know if they are real account numbers?

The following is information related to the persons appointed by the directors on May 23, 2005 to fill the director vacancies. NAME AGE POSITION ---- --- --------

Director Charles Gregoire de Rothschild 61

He is a director of several private companies, including AB International Investors, Summit Investments, Napolean Trust, and AB Rothschild de Realty. He is a resident of New York City.

This SEC filing is the earliest record of Rothschild I have found so far. Interestingly perusing Google almost all postings about this Rothschild are from 2009 and on. He has his birth year listed as 1944 and 1945 in various sources.

Canaris AKA Petermorris AKA Nestor AKA Peter is an Internet scam artist Extortion Ring targeting GDR Privee and members of the de Rothschild Family

Canaris AKA Petermorris AKA Nestor AKA Peter is an Internet scam artist Extortion Ring group who attempts to target wealthy individuals for on-line extortion campaigns. His syndicate's actions are illegal. In his most recent attack, they have targeted a member of the de Rothschild family. As a group who investigates these types of criminal activities, we personally spoke with three members of the Rothschild family as well as the head of the official Rothschild archives in Frankfurt, all of whom confirmed this de Rothschild's identity as a member of the family. I must note that neither I nor my firm have been hired or are being compensated by any member of the de Rothschild family. Our sole purpose is to illuminate online extortion schemes like this poster (and his crew) are conducting against innocent people.

This is an international crime, and the appropriate authorities are now looking into this globally.

Finally, Canaris AKA Petermorris AKA Nestor AKA Peter suggests that this individual, Mr. de Rothschild, "just recently came onto the scene" on many of his posts across the Internet. Anyone who does even five minutes of research (real research not just Internet research) can see that this particular de Rothschild has been an officer, director, and banker for over 25 years.

My non-for-profit group was formed specifically to combat criminal posters like this who are looking for a payoff. They target wealthy individuals and families exclusively. This particular poster is a syndicated group of extortionists which goes by many aliases, and promises to stop posting once a deposit is made into a specific Swiss bank account. But beware, make a deposit and he keeps coming back for more and more money.

This poster, Canaris AKA Petermorris AKA Nestor AKA Peter (and about 15 other known aliases), is simply trying to get a payoff to stop his posts. "He" is an extortionist, and his activities are highly illegal. "His" most recent activities have attracted the attention of numerous authorities and he and his crew are being tracked as "persons of interest" globally as a result. Trust me, I am a previous direct victim of "his" activities, and I refuse to allow him to continue attacking other innocent individuals with his extortion.

His next victim could be you and your family!
I feel obligated to add that this insidious poster, Canaris AKA Petermorris AKA Nestor AKA Peter who is a known Internet scam artist and extortionist syndicate, is also targeting GDR Privee as well as other members of the de Rothschild family.

I bring this up as GDR Privee, which is an investment group, owns significant percentages of securities in certain public companies they have invested in over the years. This is a matter of public record.

Canaris AKA Petermorris AKA Nestor AKA Peter and his crew are known to target individuals who have significant and publically announced security holdings, so they can "pre-short" the stocks before they launch their extortion attacks. This way, they at least make money by shorting the stocks. If the "target" pays these scammers as well then it is a bonus.

But, as this involves public companies, the Securities and Exchange Commission, TSX officials, AIM officials, and other global exchanges have already been notified, due to this extortionist posting campaign. They have agreed to track shorting activity on any stocks associated with GDR Privee (who is the victim here), as it may relate to Canaris AKA Petermorris AKA Peter AKA Nestor's attempted extortion activities and pre-shorting of any stocks involved.

This is as serious as things can get with something of this nature. It is hard to believe that people such as Canaris AKA Petermorris AKA Nestor AKA Peter would even attempt something like this in today's electronic-tracking age. But, he victimized me previously, and he could end up victimizing you or your family to.

If you have been victimized by Canaris AKA Petermorris AKA Nestor or any member of his gang, please feel free to comment to this report. The more information posted, the more information the authorities have to work with. Thank you!

This thread is turning into all sorts of wild accusations and behind the scenes drama. Any further correspondence will be directed toward my attorney or placed on this thread. The anonymous owner no longer posts here and anyone needing assistance will be going through me. I do post as any other poster on this site and the owner is not responsible for what I post.

What is the name of the non-for-profit group?

Where is anything to substantiate these claims of extortion?

Where is substantiation for the claim that de Rothschild is part of the historical banking family or not?

Where is the documentation of the other schemes that have been shut down by this group you claim to represent?

Why am I not being provided definitive proof of this alleged extortion? The site admins have the ability to remove postings if that is deemed prudent or a proper court order is in place.

You claim petermorris has shorted stock. Where is the documentation backing this claim up?

If GDRPrivee owns significant amounts of stock as you say and it is public record, do post that here. Large files saved as PDFs can be put up easily here.

If the alleged extortionist are being tracked globally then I will be anxiously awaiting contact from the authorities. The deluge of e-mail will no longer be necessary if the "real" authorities are involved, thank you very much!!!

I contacted the FBI. So, I will not respond to any more emails from parties engaged in this online scuffle rambling on about the FBI. I have received a flood of emails and will block anyone who sends me anymore nonsense! I am sure the FBI doesn't need anyone to help them with this alleged extortion campaign investigation.

The Federal Trade Commission, the nation's consumer protection agency, collects complaints about companies, business practices, identity theft, and episodes of violence in the media.

I am writing to you in reference to Charles Gregoire de Rothschild, and I am notifying one of his attorneys of record.

During the month of September 2011, a post appeared on your website. This posts makes defamatory claims against Mr. de Rothschild. This has caused us great concern, private and personal banking information is posted on the site, anyone can do numerous illegal activities with having this information available.

We ask that you have this new posting immediately removed from your site.

Mr. de Rothschild's firm never handles any of the finance and everything is in complete transparency.

We know and have identified the individuals in question who made this and other posts regarding Mr. de Rothschild. These individuals are all signatories to multiple partnership agreements with Mr de Rothschild and his subsidiary companies. Among the provisions of these agreements include specific clauses prohibiting any defamatory actions against Mr. de Rothschild and his subsidiary companies, the directors and officers of those companies, and includes a full confidentiality agreement. The individuals who posted on your site are clearly in breach of those provisions of those agreements. We have tracked the IP addresses of these individuals already, and know that these individuals are responsible.

Further, within the last week we have been contacted by Federal Level investigative authorities in both Europe and Canada regarding these individuals. They have, utilizing Mr de Rothschild’s name without permission, been attempting to operate a major cross-border financial commodities transaction without the appropriate government licenses or approvals. As a result, they face potential significant government-led criminal charges potentially including: attempted wire fraud, breach of the Patriot Act (and EU equivalents), embezzlement, racketeering, and other elements on an international level. European Union, Canadian, United States, and Romanian officials have already spoken to each other about this incident, and have already requested Mr. de Rothschild’s assistance in locating and prosecuting these individuals. We of course will assist in any way we can. All three governments are specifically concerned for Mr. de Rothschild’s personal safety as it relates to other related incidents involving the individuals in question, and as he a member of the de Rothschild family without question, they are all deeply concerned and are taking appropriate actions as I speak.

However, the authorities are also quite interested in this post on your website(s). They may choose to consider it a “forwarding of criminal activity via provayence”, as we already know the identities of the individuals who placed the post on your site. This means that any individual or company who allows an individual or individuals to utilize their services to promote a false message in conjunction of the commission of criminal activities can be found as an accessory to the crimes. This is the reason why Google is now suddenly so “helpful” to law enforcement authorities globally.

We realize that your firm only really does provide a service, and that you may have absolutely no knowledge of the individuals who made this post. So to avoid any potential criminal linkage between you, your firm, and these individuals, we respectfully request that you remove the post I have indicated above, as well as removing any other recent posts involving Mr de Rothschild, across your entire site network, as quickly as possible.

We would all appreciate your assistance in this matter. Thank you for your attention.

Best regards,

GDR Privée

Fabricated criminal charges and international intrigue on little ol' Realscam!

I have read your board posts regarding the Rothschilds with avid interest today. Below is an e-mail that was sent out by my organization relating to a directed cyber-extortion attack against members of the Rothschild family which we have been working on. Please keep in mind, we have no vested interest in the Rothschilds or compensation. We are only after promoting the truth with our partners, The Electronic Frontier Foundation, AOL, Google, and various government agencies globally.

------------------------------------------

Hello,My name is "Arthur", and I am writing you to set the record straight. I am a real person, and an e-mail address to contact me is at the bottom of this message. Arthur is not my real name. It is an alias to protect me, my family, and my organization. You may also know me as Truthteller on the Internet.You may be wondering why you have received this message from me and my team, so please bear with me. By the end of this message I am sure you will understand.

Over the last three weeks, you may have received various anonymous e-mail messages regarding an individual named Charles Gregoire de Rothschild, and his firm, GDR Privee. These e-mails, which state he is not who he claims to be, are simply not true. Again, these emails are all lies, and are an attempt to extort assets and money from Mr. de Rothschild and various members of his family.

They were sent by a group of individuals, connected to an Eastern European organized crime syndicate, who target high-net-worth individuals, their companies, and their families, in an attempt to extort money from them. The idea behind this scam is to get the high-net-worth individual to pay the scam-artist to stop e-mailing and posting negative things about them on the Internet.

Now, I have never met Mr. de Rothschild, nor am I compensated in any way by him, his company, or any other members of his family. I am, however (sadly), a previous victim of the same crime, being conducted by some the same people.Much like John Walsh (America's Most Wanted), I and my staff, and over 500 global volunteers, have dedicated ourselves to telling the truth about these types of scams.

In partnership with the Electronic Frontier Foundation, Government Agencies (globally), Interpol, Google, Yahoo, and ISPs world-wide, we have developed comprehensive systems for tracking these types of targeted scams. You are receiving this message because I want to make it clear to the criminals that even re-mailer systems can be tracked (yes, the scammers themselves will get a copy of this message). Any Message board post can also be tracked with the right talent and technology. We have both in abundance.

It is our goal to create a safe and truthful Internet for all to enjoy. We use the same methods of getting the word out as the scammers themselves employ. But we have the authorities on our side, and have assisted in over 150 convictions, worldwide, of scammers just like these people.

So let me tell you a bit more about what these scammers are up to and why:Canaris AKA Petermorris AKA Nestor is an Internet scam artist group, directly connected to organized crime, who attempt to target wealthy individuals for on-line extortion campaigns. To be clear his group's actions and methods are absolutely illegal. This same group is currently under investigation in Europe for other financial crimes such as money laundering, embezzlement, extortion, wire fraud, and most scary - our governmental partners tell us that there are "strong indications" that proceeds from these crimes are being funneled to terrorist groups.

In his most recent attack, the Canaris AKA Petermorris AKA Nestor group has targeted a member of the de Rothschild family, namely a gentleman named Charles Gregoire de Rothschild. My organization investigates these types of criminal activities, and members of our not-for-profit organization personally spoke with three separate members of the Rothschild family as well as the head of the official Rothschild archives in Frankfurt, all of whom confirmed this particular de Rothschild's identity as a member of the family. I must note that neither I nor my firm have been hired or are being compensated by any member of the de Rothschild family. Our sole purpose is to illuminate online extortion schemes like this poster (and his crew) which are being systematically conducted against innocent people.

Additionally, Canaris AKA Petermorris AKA Nestor and their group, have also posted private banking information (including full account numbers) for Mr. de Rothschild on various Internet posting boards.

This is without question an international crime, and the appropriate banking regulators and multi-national authorities are now looking into this globally.

Finally, Canaris AKA Petermorris AKA Nestor suggests that this individual, Mr. de Rothschild, "just recently came onto the scene" on many of their posts across the Internet. Anyone who does even five minutes of true research (not just on the Internet) can see that this particular de Rothschild has been an officer, director, and respected banker for over 25 years.

You see, this criminal group attempts to put just enough "truth" into their attacks so their claims appear to be legitimate. They propagate lies that call the credibility of their target into question. Then, they contact the victim and tell them that for a lofty sum of money, they will stop attacking and remove all posts. It is a scam, and it is a crime. It can and will be prosecuted.

My non-for-profit group was formed specifically to combat criminal posters like this who are looking for a payoff. They target wealthy individuals and families exclusively. This particular criminal poster group goes by many aliases, and promises to stop posting once a deposit of cash or equity assets is made into a specific Swiss bank account. But beware, make a deposit and they keep coming back for more and more money and assets.

This criminal poster group, Canaris AKA Petermorris AKA Nestor (and about 15 other known aliases), is simply trying to get an extortion payoff. They are professional extortionists, and their activities are highly illegal. Their most recent activities have attracted the attention of numerous authorities (as well as my organization) and he and his crew are now being tracked as "persons of interest" globally, for a number of international crimes as a result. As I said before, I am a previous direct victim of their activities, and I refuse to allow him to continue attacking other innocent individuals with this type of illegal extortion.

His next victim could be you and your family! That's why my organization does what it is doing.I also feel obligated to add that this insidious poster group, Canaris AKA Petermorris AKA Nestor who is a known Internet scam artist and extortionist, is also targeting a firm named GDR Privee as well as other members of the de Rothschild family.

I bring this up as GDR Privee, which is a well regarded private investment group, owns significant percentages of securities in certain public companies which they have invested into over the years.

Canaris AKA Petermorris AKA Nestor and his crew are known to target individuals who have significant and publically announced security holdings, so they can "pre-short" the stocks before they launch their extortion attacks. This way, they at least make "some" money by shorting the stocks. If the "target" pays these scammers as well then it is a bonus. They operate under the method that if they can "discredit" the individual, then the stocks owned by his or her firm (or the companies on which the victim has a Board seat), will plummet in value. It is part of their extortion racket and is rather advanced in nature.

But, as this involves public companies, the Securities and Exchange Commission, TSX officials, AIM officials, and other global exchanges have been notified and are investigating this aspect. They have already informed my organization that they will track all shorting activity on any stocks associated with GDR Privee (who is ALSO the victim here), as it may relate to Canaris AKA Petermorris AKA Nestor's attempted extortion activities and pre-shorting of any stocks involved on a global basis.

This is as serious as things can get with something of this nature. It is hard to believe that people such as Canaris AKA Petermorris AKA Nestor would even attempt something like this in today's electronic-tracking age. But, this group of criminals victimized me previously, and they could end up victimizing you or your family too.The fact that any illegally extorted or traded funds generated by their activities may be funding terrorism is a critical concern to all of us.

If you have been victimized by Canaris AKA Petermorris AKA Nestor or any member of this gang, please feel free to reply to this report. You can also learn more about the International Electronic Crimes Task Force headed by the United States Secret Service (one of our partners) at: United States Secret Service: About the U.S Secret Service Electronic Crimes Task ForcesUnlike these scam posters, I actually also have a real e-mail address through our strategic partnership with American Online. Feel free to email me directly at ArthurFrank01@aol.com. The more information you might be able to provide, the more information the authorities have to work with.

Let's make the Internet safe for all, and take back what is ours from these insidious scammers like Canaris AKA Petermorris AKA Nestor. Thank you!Best regards,Arthur - your Truthteller for scams and online extortion

Now we are treated to stories of a European crime syndicate, stock manipulation and internet tracking.

Please understand that this particular poster is not interested in adding and removing posts and internally messing with your system. This poster is part of a syndicate of organized criminals out of Eastern Europe (Romania to start), who’s only aim is to attempt to extort money from high-net-worth individuals. They are using your service to promote their activities via attacks on innocent people.

As such, we already have the source IP addresses from the server relays (as provided to us by the investigative authorities in Europe via court order), and we are simply promoting consumer awareness regarding this group of criminals.

We are also part of the CHS program with the Department of Homeland Security, as it relates to financial internet crimes which are believed to be sources of terrorist funding. This particular situation qualifies. Keep in mind, I was a victim of such a crime myself.

So there are four individuals currently involved with this scam (that we know about), under a variety of aliases, all of whom have previous arrest records for similar crimes. Our organization’s objective now is to turn such arrests into convictions on a worldwide basis.

As far as my affiliation. I used to work directly for the Electronic Frontier Foundation. As you know they are the greatest advocate for free speech on the Internet. However, we made a decision about a year ago (after I personally was effected by such a crime), that there should be a separate group that not only protects free speech, but also protects victim’s rights as well. Surprisingly, no one was doing that at the time on an institutional basis, so my group has taken that mantle in partnership with the EFF.

But understand, I have literally had death threats leveled at me, my wife, and my two little boys for going after criminals like this (when we started). So we keep an extremely low (anonymous-level) profile. But we work directly with groups like the US Secret Service, FBI, Treasury, DHS, CSIS (Canada), Federal German Intelligence Service, Germany's Federal Criminal Police, Direction générale de la sécurité extérieure, MI5, EuroPol, InterPol, The European Central Bank, Swiss National Bank enforcement division, DEA, U.S Federal Reserve, The International Joint Anti-Terrorism Task Force, and a number of other global agencies. We’ve been pretty successful in assisting with investigations and getting convictions.

From what I have been told, there may be arrests made for members of this syndicate over the next two weeks, specifically related to the Rothschild incident. These are quite dangerous individuals, and are systematic in their approach. They have been known to use Russian coders and posters, as well as hijacking websites to promote their attack messages. One of their group was recently convicted in Germany for extorting money from a Website owner by threatening him, his family, as well as threatening a myriad of DOS attacks against his site network if he didn’t pay “protection money.” We were asked to provide some technical assistance which resulted in the conviction: http://www.dw-world.de/dw/article/0,,15155182,00.html

Again, our focus is purely on protecting innocent people and companies from attacks and extortion activities such as this. We are not an enforcement group of any kind.

I wish I could be a bit more forthcoming, but I am sure you can understand that I really do not want to once again become a target, nor have any member of my family targeted. These people we chase are dangerous, and on-line crime such as this is just part of their activities. Other aspects are significantly much more violent.

I hope this gives you a bit more visibility, and thank you for your assistance. Again, I (and we) are not asking you for anything. I just wanted you to be aware that these posters are being monitored by outside authorities as “persons of interest,” and are actively spreading distrust and untruths about innocent people through your website and systems.

Yikes were are being stalked oops, I mean monitored and now part of a program funding terrorist?

Yesterday we were informed by the FBI of an open criminal investigation relating to an attempt to extort funds and stock from Mr. Charles Gregoire de Rothschild. Mr. de Rothschild is the non-executive Chairman of our company. Apparently a group of online extortionists have been posting negative information about Mr. de Rothschild on many websites, including yours, as well as sending mass e-mails, stating directly to Mr. de Rothschild that they will stop their activities if he pays them. Mr. de Rothschild did not inform us that he is a target of extortion, and we only found out that this was occurring from the FBI late yesterday evening.

As a result, our compliance team has initiated a comprehensive legal review of all postings, and all material that has been posted. This link information was provided to us by the Agent in charge of this investigation, as well as your contact information. Please understand that we are trying to deal with a rather serious crime here, and I write to you with hopes that you are willing to assist us.

We respectfully request that this information be removed from your websites and message boards, as we have not given you legal rights or permission to utilize our trademarked and copyrighted material. We seek your assistance in helping us contain the damage these extortionists are causing.

I see that this de Rothschild character is involved in forex trading. And, his bio is alarmingly bereft of any verifiable facts:

Senior Management

Charles Grégoire de RothschildChairman and Co-Founder

International financier, Merchant and Investment Banker.

Mr. de Rothschild has held numerous positions as Advisor, Director, and Chairman of several private and public companies, and currently is Chairman of the Family Office of GDR Privée, a boutique investment firm.

You may note that both posts were placed around the same time, by the same user. This user is part of the attempt to extort money according to the FBI Agent who contacted us. From what we were told, this is a known group that attempts to shake money from wealthy families and people, and they go by numerous aliases. They post the same information multiple times on sites such as yours, and then tell the victim that if they pay money, they will stop and remove the offending posts.

You are the third person to contact me. Threads on our site and many others you folks have referenced will not remove posts without a court order or good cause. So, no one could use the site I manage to bribe or extort anyone because these alleged extortionist would have no way of removing anything from the forums. Only admins have those capabilities. Now, should the FBI contact me I will do everything necessary to assist in a legitimate investigation. Until then, I suggest you folks refute what you wish and do it in a civilized manner on the available threads.

My information is quite readily available and the FBI did not need to give it to anyone as I put it in the signature line for every post that I make.

I take small quotes from things all over the web for the sole purpose of commenting on them. I will continue to quote and comment as I deem appropriate.

If you will forward the contact information for the FBI agent in charge of the investigation, perhaps we can get this resolved.

At this point I am getting quite annoyed with this bunch of clowns. I did answer them in a businesslike and friendly manner, but I am getting tired of dealing with threatening e-mails that are filled with fabricated criminal mumbo jumbo and all sorts of wild tales of international intrigue. Isn't there a TV show they could submit a script for???

The information you have listed on your site is the property of my company, as protected under the Federal Copyright and Trademark Act, and is duly noted on our Website. As such, I have already requested that the FBI contact you directly, both on the matter of their investigation into extortion of a member of our management team, and the utilization of our protected property.

It does not matter how “small” something is you choose to comment on. However the moment you utilize images, code, text, and links which are copyrighted to my company, you have taken something which does not belong to you. Our HTML code, with is also copyrighted, is being displayed on your website without our permission. I suggest you speak to your counsel on if that is legal, as it is not protected by free speech under the Federal Copyright and Trademark Act.

Additionally, you must not have read my original message clearly. All links reference your site. The point of the on-line extortion attempt is the very fact that they HAVE NO ABILITY to remove posts from your site. However they have the proven ability to HIJACK almost any website as they have apparently done previously according to the FBI. This includes the hijacking of Rip Off Report as a launch pad for Denial of Service Attacks, as well as previously stealing username and password data from that site as well as other sites.

The links I provided prove that a group of supposedly different individuals are using different user names and posting THE SAME information over and over again on the Website you are responsible for. That is known as a “directed attack,” under the current laws governing computer crime in the United States. Website operators are legally responsible for policing user behavior of their systems.

But first you said, "they post the same information multiple times on sites such as yours, and then tell the victim that if they pay money, they will stop and remove the offending posts," but now you insist the extortion plays out because they have no ability to remove post. Which is it clown boy???

1.)Barrett v. Rosenthal:Websites assume no responsibility for comments or content provided by third parties as provided by ample case law including the recent California decision in Barrett v. Rosenthal.
You can read the case here

2.)Federal Court Reaffirms Immunity of Bloggers and Forums from Suits Brought Against Commenters: Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act provides that "[no] provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider," and that "[n]o cause of action may be brought and no liability may be imposed under any State or local law that is inconsistent with this section." A recent decision of the First Circuit has reaffirmed the broad protection this statute provides to bloggers and message board administrators. In Universal Communication Systems v. Lycos, a company who had allegedly been victimized by defamatory statements on a message board regarding the value of its stock sued Lycos, which operated the board. The message board allowed users to post comments with minimal moderation, and no one from Lycos was responsible for the allegedly defamatory statements.Examining the impact of Sec. 230 on this case, the court noted that "Congress intended that, within broad limits, message board operators would not be held responsible for the postings made by others on that board," adding that allowing bloggers and message board operators to be sued for the statements of commenters on their sites would have an "obvious chilling effect" on speech. Accordingly, the court dismissed the complaint against Lycos.

I removed the photo you find so objectionable. I suggest you actually cite these various laws and have the authorities in question contact me directly. The FBI does not handle alleged copyright violations either.

Pardon me? Forward all what exactly. I am not forwarding anything to your alleged counsel. Have the FBI contact me directly. I will not release any information to anyone without a proper court order or the like. I don't know who you think you are communicating with, but our site will not release any information in this manner ever. And, as I said with proper documentation the site admins have the discretion to remove or edit posts or provide information specified in a proper subpoena. That requires verifiable facts and documentation.

Now you will not be sending any more threatening nonsense e-mails unless you want your email address blocked. You are wasting my time and I am done with this unless as I said that I am provided with proper documentation and court orders. If Mr. Ramirez's card is on your desk then you are welcome to give me contact information.

What a nightmare! This is when I contacted the FBI myself and got the above posted response. They know nothing about this international incident involving this Rothschild character and suggested I report this bunch of clowns to the FTC as "the Federal Trade Commission, the nation's consumer protection agency, collects complaints about companies, business practices, identity theft, and episodes of violence in the media." Concumdrum Capital and GDR Privee certainly do conduct business is a fascinating fashion. International intrigue indeed!

Canaris AKA Petermorris AKA Nestor is an Internet scam artist who attempts to target wealthy individuals for on-line extortion campaigns. His actions are illegal. In this particular case, we personally spoke with three members of the Rothschild family as well as the head of the official Rothschild archives in Frankfurt, all of whom confirmed Mr. Charles Gregoire de Rothschild's identity as a member of the family. Additionally, Canaris AKA Petermorris AKA Nestor has posted private banking information (including full account numbers) for Mr. de Rothschild on various Internet posting boards. This is a crime, and the appropriate authorities are now looking into this. Finally, Canaris AKA Petermorris AKA Nestor suggests that this individual, Mr. de Rothschild, "just recently came onto the scene" on many of his posts across the Internet. Anyone who does even five minutes of research can see that this particular de Rothschild has been an officer, director, and banker for over 25 years.

This poster, Canaris AKA Petermorris AKA Nestor, is simply trying to get a payoff to stop his posts. He is an extortionist. He is being tracked by the authorities now. Trust me, I am a previous direct victim of his activities, and I refuse to allow him to continue attacking other innocent individuals with his extortion.

I am the truthteller!

You apparently overlooked my question when you went on whining again so I will repost it:

It should readily be at your fingertips since you allegedly know what it is.

Mr. Charles Gregoire de Rothschild has been Special Adviser to board of directors at Biomagnetics Diagnostics Corp., since October 2009. Mr. de Rothschild supports Biomagnetics' continuing global expansion efforts by leveraging his extensive domestic and international financial expertise. Mr. de Rothschild serves as Special Adviser to the Board of Directors at BioElectronics Corporation. Mr. de Rothschild is an Experienced Financier of numerous public and private companies, and has served as a Merchant Banker for over 35 years. Mr. de Rothschild serves as a Director of several private companies, including AB International Investors, Summit Investments, Napolean Trust, and AB Rothschild de Realty. He served as a Director of Xdogs Inc. since May 23, 2005.

AB International Investors does not come up in a Google search. Xdogs.com is not a working website and hasn't been for a number of years. We can all see that Napolean Trust has this laughable Facebook fan page with only 1 like. Just what is the story of the de Rothschild character?
